Both have been benefitting from getting into the adult industry, with daughter Sami Sheen, 20, reportedly becoming a millionaire from her spicy content.
Despite venturing away from the acting path that both her father, Charlie Sheen, and mother took, Sami has been very open about her career choice, previously revealing that her and Richards don’t look at each other’s accounts as it’s ‘weird’.
While Richards, 54, has defended her daughter against backlash from the media, it turns out that her daughter has one criticism of her joining the platform.
Sami was just 18 when she opened her OnlyFans account, selling NSFW pictures online after admitting on her mum’s new reality show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things that her job at a candy shop wasn’t making her enough money.
Richards opened her own account within a week, and Sami wasn’t exactly pleased and admitted she wished her mum hadn’t started her account so soon after.
Admitting in an episode of the show that she was ‘p*ssed’ at first, telling the former Wild Things actress that it was ‘annoying’, she added that it was a difficult thing to explain to friends.

Speaking to Decider prior to the reality show’s premiere, Sami confessed: “It’s not that I was angry because I’m always so supportive of everything she does.
“I was just frustrated that she started it really soon after I started mine.”
Despite wishing that she was told earlier, she admitted it’s now been ‘so long’, with the pair having their ‘own fanbases’.
The 21-year-old added: “We don’t look at each other’s pages or anything. I don’t know what she’s even posting on there, but yeah, I’m not upset about it.”

Richards explained that she wants to protect her children at all costs, following her comments about the adult site in a previous interview: “You just have to ignore the hate and just live your life and be you. And it’s not an easy thing to do.”
Richards said that exposing her three daughters to the media with another reality show was also a ‘concern’.
“I wish I had the confidence and the courage that these girls have when I was their age because I was always such a people pleaser and worried what people would think,” she admitted, adding that she is happy her girls can ‘use their voice’ to be who they want to be.
